here I go again.
 

I got another set of heads. Agian. I also got new cams. Everything is still stock stuff. Hopefully It will go better this time and it wont take so long. The new heads are 8 thread winsor's.

I hope it goes better this time for you Wade. :bigthumb:

I will be on standby for when you want to get rid of it CHEAP!

Not going to happen. Ill let it rot under the carport first.

Fords go to the yard not under the carport. :D


Gl this go round. Gas is cheaper this time of your rebuild, so when you get it done you will have a blast driving it.

Wade have you picked up your heads yet? Give me a call and I will come up ther and help(watch) you.:bigthumb:

Yes I have the heads, cams and the cylinder head changing kit. (gaskets and head bolts) I will prob work on it next week end. We changed to 4 10's on my main job. And we rotate from monday to thursday then from tuesday to friday. So I get a 2 day weekend and a 4 day weekend. Now if I can get my other job to work with me I'll have some time to get it done.

Yea its been a while. I finally got it where I have 4 days off both jobs together. Ive been working every day somewere for a while now. I got everything but the heads and exhaust off today. I want to get where Im putting it back together tomorow. If all goes well I should have it done this weekend.

Good luck Wade, hope it all comes together for you this time. you doing it with the motor still in the truck?

Ya. Im doing it in the truck. I got it all the way apart today with no problems. Had I started on it in the morning yesterday. I could of had it apart in one day. I didnt start on it yesterday untill 1pm. I ran into a problem today. I never had the heads I just bought checked out. I know. Stupid on my part. One of the intake valves are bent. Its just barly bent and I could take one out of one of the other heads and go ahead and put it on, but I just dont trust them now. Im going to have them checked out before I put them on. Damn it.:?

Well hope they check out ok.

Thanks. I hope so to.

Well, Im getting them fixed, but damn it. Its going to cost me more to get them fixed then what I paid for the heads in the first place. It has a total of 8 bent valves and they need guides and seals. I swear this truck does not like me.

Wade. Sorry to hear about your misfortune. Better now than after they were installed!
You would have really been angry!

Thanks Morey. And I agree. I just wish it would quit fighting me.

I got my heads back kinda late today. I have to work sat and sun. Im off monday but the weather isnt looking to good. Still might get somewere with it.

Finally got a day off. Its almost back together. I seem to have misplaced the t-stat housing bolts. Other than that I still have to bolt the exaust manifolds back on. I only have to work one job tomorow, So I might get it done tomorow nite.

Glad to hear it Wade. Good luck.

Thanks Brian and welcome to the site.

Glad you can start enjoying it Wade!!! It has been down for a long long time!!! :bigthumb:
